Benefits

In addition to any government lump sum payments, if you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be eligible to receive:

Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB)

If your exposure to asbestos occurred through employed work, you may be able to claim IIDB. We can provide you with the relevant form and should you need help with the application, we can arrange for you to receive assistance.

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Attendance Allowance

PIP and Attendance Allowance are essentially the same benefit. PIP can be claimed if you are under 65 years and require assistance with your personal care. If you are aged over 65 and need help with personal care, the benefit is called Attendance Allowance.
